You might be able to get FreeBSD to support it by applying a similar
patch to OpenBSD then.

I think you are being very optimistic.

That is the whole point of VLANs.  You define the link between the
switch and FreeBSD as a VLAN trunk within the switch.  Within FreeBSD,
you use "ifconfig vlanXXX inet ... vlan TAG vlandev NIC" (where XXX is
a unique number - I tend to use the tag) to access the VLAN with a tag
"TAG" on the trunk connected to "NIC".
